Some interesting quotes about "making a difference"*

I choose to believe I can and will change the world with my words and 
thoughts.
Rod Williams Musician

The mind has exactly the same power as the hands: not merely to grasp 
the world, but to change it.
Colin Wilson Novelist  (born 1931);

We must become the change we want to see in the world.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi Indian Political And Spiritual 
Leader  (1869-1948)

Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit 
there.
Will Rogers Actor, Comic, Columnist  (1879-1935);

I think this video will teach a lot of people that taking the time to 
teach a child could rreally change them.

Love this and all of the "pass it on" spots. Keep up the good work

I love the video, it's very inspirational. I'm a teacher and it really

I love it! I'm inspired to go on in my ministry of teaching.
/Posted 8 months ago by Leizel Igbalic from Davao, Philippines /

This I can appreciate very whole heartily. My son has made such a 
tremendous amount of progress over the year because his teachers care 
and even go out of their way to help just the same! Thank you for 
sharing this!

These are the REAL heroes that almost never get the due admiration!!
/Posted over 1 year ago by Connie P. from Chula Vista,CA /

Yes, true these people are here to help kids to help themselves using 
all their time to invest in kids instead of staying home and watching 
TV. I like it.
/Posted over 1 year ago by Matthew M. from Miami, Florida /

Thank you for this one. I have to agree that teachers are unsung heroes. 
Sometimes, even the teachers you "hate" help you, without you even 
knowing, they've changed who you are. I've found that many of my 
teachers end up my best friends.
/Posted about 2 years ago by A.J. from NJ /

I completely agree with this ad. Everyone deserves not only the presence 
of those who are around them but their attention.
/Posted over 2 years ago by from /

If only we can see through the problems of others and hear what problems 
they have, that would certainly show how much we care for those in 
need.... I love the song: "Everyday Heroes" beautifully sung.
/Posted over 2 years ago by Tetteh, A from Winslow, ME, USA /

My eyes got quite watery just watching this ad. Most of us have had one 
or two teachers who have gone the extra mile to help us with some 
assignment or personal problem. Why teachers are not appreciate more is 
still a mystery to me.

This is a wonderful message for all the heroes in our everyday lives. My 
heart goes out to our teachers and their unwavering dedication to 
teaching our young.

TV when this song is on!

I like the song too..I search for a long time and found out that the

I'm still trying to find the song.
